After Yibo left, Zhan went into the bathroom to take a shower. "He's really cute when he's annoyed" he whispered, entering the bathroom as if he owned the apartment.

On the other hand, "Why does he love to annoy me so much? It's infuriating, and it looks like he's going to take my bed too" Yibo grumbled, but stopped when his phone rang. Seeing who was calling, his scowl turned into a broad smile, and he eagerly answered.

"Hello, Ibo. I'm sorry I couldn't reply to your calls and messages; I've just been so busy" said the voice on the other end. Yibo shook his head as if the caller could see him. "It's okay. What's important is that you called. Didn't I tell you not to overwork yourself?" he replied, his smile growing even wider.

"Hehehe, yes, sir. You're always scolding me. How are you doing over there?"

"I'm fine. When are you coming back?"

"I don't know yet, but probably soon. I still have a lot to take care of here, and I'm dealing with a lot of problems."

"Like what? Didn't I tell you to let me know if you need anything? I might be able to help."

"It's embarrassing. You're always there for me whenever I have a problem."

Meanwhile, when Zhan came out of the bathroom, he was surprised to hear Yibo talking to someone. Curious, he went to the door to see who it was and was shocked by what he saw. For the first time, he saw Yibo smiling—the kind of smile reserved for someone special. He raised his eyebrows, hearing what Yibo said

"I keep telling you not to be shy with me. You know I'd do anything for you because I love you."

"Oh, let me give you a headache" Luna muttered, grabbing a paper bag and walking towards Yibo. "Grumpy husband, who are you talking to?" Yibo was startled by Zhan's approach. "Are you with someone?" asked the voice on the other end. "No, I was just watching TV" Grumpy said, motioning for Zhan to leave. Zhan just smirked at him. "Do I look like a TV, husband?" Luna said loudly enough for the caller to hear. Yibo glared at him.

"Grumpy husband" Luna called Grumpy again in different tones. "I'll call you back" Grumpy said and hung up the call. He glared angrily at Luna. "Don't you have anything better to do than annoy me? I've already let you stay in my house, what more do you want? Do you even know who I was talking to?" Yibo snapped, but Zhan just stared at him.

"The person I was talking to is someone I love, someone I want to marry" Grumpy continued. "Are you done talking?" Luna asked, raising an eyebrow, as if he didn't even hear what Yibo said. "If you are, after all that, I just wanted to give you what I bought for you" Luna said, throwing the paper bag he was holding at Yibo and starting to walk away. But he stopped as if he had forgotten something and turned back to Yibo.

"You can love whoever you want, but remember, you're married to me, and I'll do everything to make you fall for me" He said, then kissed Yibo on the lips. "I'll make you deeply fall in love with me to the point that you can't bear to lose me from your life" Zhan said, while Yibo was still in shock from the kiss. "Good boy" Luna said and patted Yibo's head.

Before Grumpy could react. Luna ran to the bedroom and locked the door.

"That lunatic kissed me again!" Yibo shouted, heading toward his bedroom door. "L@natic, come out, let's talk" Yibo said while knocking. "Maybe you meant you want me to kiss you again" Luna teased from inside. "How dare you say that! I hate you!" Grumpy angrily returned to his seat.

"What did I do in life to deserve this punishment? I'm not a bad person for you to send a demon to annoy me" Grumpy said, facepalming in frustration. Meanwhile,   Luna inside was just laughing. But he suddenly remembered Yibo saying he loved someone else. Curious, he picked up his phone to call Woodz and ask.

As he opened his phone, messages flooded in, including ones from friends saying they were grounded and forbidden to talk to him. "This must be Dad's doing again..." He was interrupted by a phone call, smiling as he saw who was calling and carefully answered it.

As soon as he answered, his eardrum was nearly shattered by his father's yelling. "Don't you have anything sensible to do with your life? If you don't come home now, don't bother coming back at all!" his father threatened. Luna chuckled. "I'll come back when you bring Mom back home. Until then, leave me alone" He said and hung up the phone.

"XIAO ZHANNN!" his father screamed, but Zhan didn't hear it because he had already hung up. "Gov, we couldn't locate him. The conversation was too quick" Zhan's father angrily threw his phone. "You’re all useless! Get out!" he shouted.

...

Luna slept soundly in the room, while Yibo paced back and forth in the small space of his sofa. "Why am I the one out here? I should be inside. This is my apartment" Yibo said and knocked on the door again.

Grumpy: "Come out, I want to sleep in my bed."

"I'll open the door if you say we should sleep together instead of making me move to the sofa." said luna who woke up to a knock on the door.

Grumpy ended up sleeping outside. The next morning, he was the first to wake up and realized he couldn't get into the room because he'd left the key inside, along with his clothes. He didn't want to wake Luna, not wanting to ruin his morning.

He looked at the paper bag Zhan had given him, still unopened because he feared what might be inside. Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the bag and was surprised by its contents. The clothes inside were clearly expensive. He glanced at the door.

"I don't have anything else to wear, so I'll have to wear this. but I want to tell you that I don't want to accept anything from you" Yibo said, looking at the closed door.

Luna woke up at 9 AM to find Grumpy already gone and no breakfast left for him. "What should I do? I don't know how to cook" Zhan muttered, took his phone from the room and called woodz. "Bro, can you bring me some food? My kind husband didn't leave me anything to eat" he complained. "Sorry, Zhan, I can't come over. Yibo doesn't want me around you" his brother replied.

"Really? Well, if you're with him, tell him I'll cook, but you better be ready to call the fire department or bring me food here" Zhan said with a grin. "I don't mind if this apartment burns down" he added.

"Just buy him something, that l@natic is out of his mind" Yibo said from the other end of the line, which made Zhan smile widely. "Thanks, grumpy husband."
